Salv joins GASA ahead of 2027 EU data-sharing rules

Salv has become a Supporting Member of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), putting its anti-fraud and inter-institutional data-sharing stack into a coalition that is increasingly relevant to how payment firms will have to operate in Europe. The timing matters: from 2027, EU rules will make cross-border intelligence sharing compulsory.

1. GASA brings together banks, technology firms, regulators, law enforcement bodies and consumer protection groups focused on scams and financial crime. Salv says the membership is a practical move, not a branding exercise, because fraudsters already move across several banks at once and no single institution can see the full picture.
2. Salv’s platform combines screening, transaction monitoring, risk scoring and inter-institutional intelligence sharing. The stated goal is to reduce false positives, cut manual work and surface real threats faster. Its network product, Salv Bridge, lets organisations check known-suspicious individuals at onboarding, review flagged payments from both sides of a transfer, and build a broader threat view than any one firm can create alone.
3. The company says cross-institution cooperation has long been discussed across the sector but has often stalled because of legal uncertainty and caution between competitors. That is now changing under regulation and because financial crime itself is networked, which makes a networked response the obvious operational model.
4. From 2027, Article 75 of the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering Regulation and Article 83a of the Payment Services Regulation will make cross-border intelligence sharing compulsory. Salv says it has spent five years operating compliant data sharing for more than 100 financial institutions, and it is now bringing that governance and legal framework to the wider GASA community as European institutions move toward collective defence.
5. Salv co-founder and CEO Taavi Tamkivi said the company joined GASA because “the people who understand this problem need a way to find each other, share what they’re seeing, and act on it together.” For PSPs, the practical takeaway is simple: the compliance stack is moving from isolated controls toward shared intelligence, and the rules are already written for Europe.
